When learning poker you always hear about aggression, but no one really explains how to be aggressive. Here are a few exercises that can really develop your game quickly using freerolls.
1. Don't check. Spend a few days playing freerolls and do not check. Play tight and bet. Learn to use small and large bets to accomplish what you need to accomplish.
After you do start to see positive results, move on to #2.
2. Don't call. At this point, you can incorporate a check back in your game (not sure why) but you can not call any bet. Its fold, bet, or raise regardless of the situation. Again, use small and large bets to get where you need to be.
After several days of not calling, move to #3.
3. Don't go all in. As previously, you may now incorporate the check and call back but cannot shove or call a pre-flop all in. This will help you play poker and not bingo. You need to see flops.
Most people struggle with aggression because they can't consistently bet with nothing. They have to hit a flop to bet. If they miss, they become very passive. This leads to large leaks in your game. Doing these exercises will show the inner workings of poker and show the strength of true aggression.
You will also see the strength of good hand selection and folding. When you are put in a position that you have nothing, but cannot go into a passive "shell" it will help you rethink playing trash.
Less calls and checks, more bets and raises = winning poker.
